Legal Dietary Supplement Enhances Athletic Performance By Six Percent

July 5, 2013: 12:00 AM EST
A U.S. study has determined that a nutrient found in shellfish and beets, and available as a powder or capsule supplement, can enhance athletic performance – legally – by as much as six percent. According to the researchers, who tested 16 college-age cyclists, betaine seems to contribute to creatine synthesis, which in turn improves strength, power and short-term performance. In the study, one week of betaine supplementation increased peak and mean anaerobic power by 5.5 percent compared to baseline measures.
